[kj] Old News: I did not know this...

[Rheinhold Squeegee]

Cheesy West Coast white-funk-rap from the late 90's, a la Smashmouth. First album had a decent song called "Danzig Needs A Hug." Appeared in "Scooby Doo 2". Lead singer is now a contributor to "Access Hollywood", such as it is. I believe they were virtually unknown in the UK, but were quite popular in Japan, Finland and Latin America.

Oh, wow -- I don't care for Sugar Ray whatsoever, but I'll McGrath for using a great lyric for inspiration! (And for asking having the good taste to listen to KJ!) 

Interesting post, Rheinhold.  : )

"All around the world statues crumble for me"

(FROM "FLY") 

 
I was sitting in our old house -- we all used to live together in Hancock Park in Los Angeles -- and I was looking through my records, and I happened to see a Killing Joke record. They have a song called "Sanity" with the lyric "all across the scenes, the statues crumble." Whoa! That was a powerful-ass lyric, and I took it from there. I wish it was a life story like I was walking lonely in Rome, but it's not that romantic -- we have Killing Joke to thank for that line.
